Everton vs Manchester United (4.10pm)

David Moyes endured a torrid afternoon at his former club as Manchester United were soundly beaten by Everton.

Leighton Baines opened the scoring at Goodison Park after Phil Jones was penalised for handling the ball in his own box.

Despite United's possession, the hosts doubled their advantage just before half time as Kevin Mirallas fired past David de Gea.

Moyes tried to change things in the second half, but Roberto Martinez's men came out on top.Wayne Rooney missed a fine chance with five minutes remaining but Tim Howard somehow kept out the England forward's effort.

And the misery continues for United whose 18-year stay in the Champions League has now officially ended after that defeat. Is that a European relegation of sorts? Everton stay fifth but close within a point of Arsenal in fourth place.

That's all from me here, but make sure you check out the post-match fallout on the homepage. Cheerio.

From OptaJoe

70 - Today's result means Manchester United are going to finish with fewer than 70 points for the first time since 1990-91. Decline.

90+4min: Candidate for the most pointless substitute of the season as Mirallas is replaced by Aiden McGeady for the last 12 seconds. Yes, seconds.

17:59

90+2min: Still the Everton fans jeer Rooney, as the striker crosses from the corner flag for Smalling who nods wide when he should really do better.

Lunge: Wayne Rooney escaped a booking for his late tackle on James McCarthy

17:58

90min: There will be four added minutes at Goodison Park - although that additional few seconds looks only set to benefit Everton who are chasing a third goal.

17:56

87min: And that sums it all up! Finally United create a chance as Rooney collects a Hernandez pass inside the box, but his shot when one-on-one with Tim Howard is thwarted by the on-rushing keeper who parries behind for a corner.

It's a super stop from the former Red Devils keeper and again the Everton fans love it.

17:53

From Sportsmail's Ian Ladyman on Twitter

The really peculiar thing about this game is that at no stage have #mufc ever given the impression they could win it. Not for a second.

'You have to wonder if Moyes would have ever had a more miserable journey home from Goodison than the one facing him this evening. United have been so, so inept today.'

17:50

82min: United are losing the plot. Rather than feeling the pressure, Everton are bringing out the exhibition moves as Mirallas nutmegs Darren Fletcher before being body checked by the midfielder to win a free-kick.

The Toffees fans loved that and responded with a chant for their Belgian forward.

17:47

80min: Naismith again! This time Everton hit United on the counter attack as Coleman runs through the centre,before feeding the Toffees forward on the edge of the box.

Naismith fires across goal but De Gea leaps across his line to superbly parry the ball behind for a corner. The Spaniard will be one of the few United players to come out this game with any credit.

17:45

78min: It's nearly game over at Goodison Park, but Naismith can only turn a pacey cross from the right wide of the target at the back post.

17:42

Manchester United substitution

75min: So here comes Welbeck with 15 minutes left, as he comes on for Kagawa. That's Rooney, Hernandez, Welbeck and Mata all on the pitch for United. Too many cooks?

17:41

73min: It's been a slightly drab second half, with United still showing superior passing and possession but absolutely no cutting edge.

Danny Welbeck is warming up for the visitors in what would be Moyes' last throw of the dice.

17:36

Everton substitution

70min: Just 20 minutes left, and United look no closer to getting back into this game. Everton make a second change by sending on Leon Osman for Barkley.

Going down: Juan Mata (front) of Manchester United is tackled by James McCarthy of Everton

17:35

68min: It's not been Mata's either, who welcomes McCarthy back on to the field with a late tackle of his own. Referee Mark Clattenburg decides against yellow cards for both challenges.

17:34

66min: Clear signs of frustration from Rooney, who seems to lunge in with a follow through to catch McCarthy who has gone off the field to receive some treatment. Once again, it really hasn't been Wayne's day.

17:32

64min: Chances at both ends. First Lukaku fires a snap shot from an angle straight at De Gea at his near post, while Fletcher slices well wide from distance following good work from Hernandez.

17:29

Manchester United double substitution

61min: A double change from Manchester United as Antonio Valencia and Javier Hernandez come on to replace Nani and Evans.

Valencia will slot in at right-back as Jones goes into the centre of defence.

On the charge: Ross Barkley of Everton breaks with the ball against Manchester United

17:27

60min: On the hour and a robust sliding tackle from James McCarthy on Mata sees the Everton midfielder pick up a booking.

17:25

57min: A chance of sorts for Everton as Alex Buttner's sliding tackle on Mirallas wins a corner.

The cross finds an unmarked Alcaraz in the centre, but the ball is just a little too high and as a result the substitute has to lean back to nod a weak header straight at de Gea.

53min: A free-kick to United on the edge of the box, but Rooney lets his professional side do the talking as he allows Mata to take the set-piece.

He probably should have taken it himself, as the Spaniard can only fire off the wall from 20 yards out.

17:19

52min: I do loathe these anti-climaxes. A superb run from Coleman sees him charge into the United box, dodging a number of challenges, but it's all in vain as he slices well off target.

17:16

50min: More yellows. This time Smalling is committing the crimes with an over zealous tackle on Barry.

Hands on hips: Wayne Rooney of Manchester United looks dejected after Everton score their second goal

17:15

48min: Bright start from United as Ross Barkley is booked for pulling down Chris Smalling on the right flank.

Shinji Kagawa shoots from distance, but Howard does enough to safely stop the low central effort before gathering.

17:14

47min: And what an instant impact from Alcaraz. Rooney collects a Mata pass inside the box, but with the United striker poised to shoot, the defender slides in to make a crucial tackle and put the ball behind for a corner which Everton clear.

17:12

SECOND-HALF: Changes at the break, but they are not from United...

...it's Everton who make a switch with Sylvain Distin being replaced by Antolin Alcaraz. I can only imagine that is injury enforced. Distin was a rock in that first half.

Manchester United have had 66 per cent of the ball but they can't stop Seamus Coleman rampaging down the right flank.

The Everton right-back has played like a winger in the first half, constantly picking up the ball in the United half. The visitors can't quite handle him at the moment and here is his heat map from the first half.

Strong words from Ian, but he isn't wrong. This is a complete shadow of former great United sides.

The Red Devils haven't even had a shot on target - with that late chance resulting in Barry heading towards his own goal.

Everton fans greeted the half-time whistle with a huge cheer by the way - I could have been fooled thinking it was the final whistle.

17:00

From Sportsmail's Ian Ladyman at Goodison Park

'Everton’s quick breaks far too good for a United team that frankly look like they want to be somewhere else.

'United’s left-side combination of Kagawa and Buttner no match for the attacking threat of Coleman and Mirallas down that side. The only surprise is that Everton have only scored once down that route.

'It used to be impossible to write United off in a game but I have to say its very hard to see them coming back. They just don’t have the cohesion, the unity or – as odd as it is to say – the desire.'

16:57

HALF-TIME: Everton 2-0 Manchester United

Celebration: Kevin Mirallas of Everton celebrates scoring their second goal at Manchester United

16:56

45+1min: Nearly a response from United on the cusp of half-time - but despite Jonny Evans and Gareth Barry diverting a powerful header towards the Everton goal, Tim Howard easily collects.

16:52

GOAL! EVERTON 2-0 Manchester United

43min: All United possession, but only Everton look like scoring and they deservedly double their lead.

Mark Clattenburg plays a good advantage after Juan Mata takes out Baines and from the resulting counter attack, a through ball is slipped into the path of the onside Kevin Mirallas, who blasts low across goal into the bottom corner from an acute angle.

'Leighton Baines has never missed a Premier League penalty, and he’s now converted 13. I’d say Dr Steve Peters can leave him until last.'

Disappointment: Manchester United manager David Moyes (centre) reacts after Everton take the lead

16:46

36min: Exhibit A: A one touch move sees Naismith play a short pass to Mirallas on the right, whose low cross into the six-yard box is just too far in front of the sliding Lukaku.

16:45

34min: I have to say I would be worried as a United fan watching this. The visitors look clueless when they get the ball, while Everton through Baines and Coleman are attacking with purpose down the flanks.

25min: It's been a good spell for Everton but can they produce a breakthrough?

16:33

22min: Superb chance for Everton, but they seem intent on kicking the ball over the bar at the moment.

Lukaku nods a long ball into the path of Naismith inside the box, but the Everton forward can only sky a first time shot into the crowd.

16:31

19min: Everton fans scream for a penalty as Steven Naismith's shot hits Jonny Evans on the arm, but there was little the defender could do to move out the way and referee Mark Clattenburg sensibly lets play continue.

Marshalled: Romelu Lukaku of Everton is closed down by Chris Smalling of Manchester United

16:29

18min: There is certainly nothing wrong with the noise levels from the Everton PA announcer who reminds Manchester United fans that they should not be standing at any point during the game. They can't claim to have not heard, that announcement was louder than some gigs I've been too.

16:26

From Sportsmail's Ian Ladyman at Goodison Park

'Everton game plan quite obvious here, so far, as they keep funnelling the ball down the right side where Mirallas and Coleman are attempting to overload United reserve left-back Buttner.

'It’s working to a degree, too, as twice the Everton left-back has got to the byline without too much trouble. All he needs to do now is pick out better crosses.'

16:25

12min: From the end-to-end opening, it appears United are now starting to control the ball a bit more.

The tempo has slowed a bit, and with it the fans seemed to have settled with decibel levels dropping slightly.

On the chase: Juan Mata of Manchester United attempts to race clear of Everton's James McCarthy

16:20

9min: Oooh there's a chance, but Ross Barkley makes a real mess of it. The ball falls for the Everton midfielder on the edge of the box, but he never really has control of it before he lashes wildly over the crossbar.

16:18

7min: The jeers continue for former Toffees, but there is only a slight amount of of boos for Rooney as he picks up possession.

The truth is he doesn't have the ball long enough for the real jeers to set in. No chances yet as the fast-paced action continues.

16:16

'Quite a good team choice by David Moyes, good decision to play Buttner instead of Evra. I think Buttner can be solid if given the chance that Moyes looks to be giving him.

'The last important game of the season for United fans and I hope we can end on a high. However I am not overly confident as this season has shown we're easily beatable.'

Lauren, via email.

16:14

3min: It's been a fast start to this game - I'm not too sure this tempo can continue throughout the 90 minutes though. It's been end-to-end so far with Everton looking a threat through Seamus Coleman on the right.

16:10

Moyes booed on to the pitch

I thought Moyes had got away with it as he emerged from the tunnel without any sort of reception, but Everton fans soon spotted their former boss and gave him both barrels with the boos. Shame really, but the Toffees fans have their reasons.

16:08

Huge roar at Goodison Park as the teams make their way out...

A brief handshake between Mirallas (now joined by team-mates) and Rooney, and the teams then make their way on to the turf...

16:06

Just Everton's Kevin Mirallas is standing in the tunnel at this point - will he be a one-man team today?

We will find out soon enough, the weather looks a little chilly for Wayne Rooney though, who warmed up wearing gloves.

And if events at Carrow Road didn't ruffle a few Everton feathers - then this scoreline certainly well.

Arsenal are in prime position to pull four points clear of the Toffees in the race for the final Champions League spot before the Goodison Park encounter, as they lead Hull 2-0 at the break at the KC Stadium.

On this page, we are focusing solely on events at Merseyside this afternoon but you can follow the action at Hull with Sportsmail's Jack Gaughan on the above link - there seems to be a whiff of controversy regarding Arsenal's second goal...

What a difference a year makes

When David Moyes left Everton as manager after 11 years last May, he was given a hero's send off as he prepared to take on the role of replacing Sir Alex Ferguson at Manchester United.

But in what has been a troubled first season at Old Trafford for Moyes, he returns to Goodison Park for the first time today - where he can expect a mixed reaction following pursuits for Marouane Fellaini and Leighton Baines last summer.

From a United perspective, both have arguably been failures for different reasons, but I expect a few Everton fans won't have forgotten how quickly Moyes raided his former side.
